Attend us Bassaes Ar't sure hee 's dead Asm Mahometes is dead There 's nothing moving of him but his soule and that robd of his body by this hand Baja. Enough That soule revives to see him dead that wrong'd the body Oh! my bloudy heart Must in his frenzy act an horrid part Follow thy Prince to hell Stabs him Asmeh To death Oh divellish ingratitude I 'm slaine I dye Moritur Baja. And justly would each foe and Traytor to my state were thwarted so Bassaes convay this hated body hence the sight of that damn'd villaine moves offence They carry him out Now pause a while my soule and reckon up what obstacles are yet to be remov'd Achomates must stay the peoples leasure Corcutus dally with Minervaes Nimphes The last and worst proud Selymus shall dye Thus I le compose a firme security Enter Bassaes with Cherseogles Baja.

These are too fairely promis'd to be meant ambition hath already chain'd his soule too surely in the captive bonds of pride then that he now should cloath his stately hopes in the plaine sordid weedes of penitence He doth but varnish o're some treacherous plot in this smooth answer come wee 'le leade along to our Imperiall seat of Constantine that 's strongly fortified we need not feare the weake attempts an home-bred foe can dare Exeunt Bajazet and
Achmetes Did he stand on terms of conscience neighbor-hood or love when he cashier'd my daughter from my house and to the worlds broad eye open'd her crime No he was swift and bitter in his hate and so will I he is but now return'd in triumph from the field as full of pride as I of envy hence I le ground my hate When fierce Bellona smil'd on Bajazet amidst the fiery tumults of the warre she offered Zemes to Achmetes hand they fought Achmetes conquered at his foot fell the proud rebell wounded but not slain there might Achmetes with a blow of death cut off our fears continued in his breath this shall incense the angry Emperor and crush Achmates in his fairest hopes True polititians work by others hands so I will by the Prince my plot stands firme see where he comes now sly Mercurius whet my tongue to kindle hate in Bajazet Enter Bajazet Baja. Isaack how thriv'd Achmetes in his wars Fame is of late grown dumbe of his renown surely unwelcome news clogs her swift wings else had she now bin frequent in our Court and we had fully known the chance of all Isa We had yet could not the event lie so conceal'd but Isaack found it out which when I first discovered straight it wrought tempests of passions in me joy and grief reign'd at one instant in the selfe same brest Bajazet As how Isa As thus I joy'd that Zemes fell was sorry he escap'd Baja. Fell and yet escap'd Isa Beneath Achmetes feet the traytor fell Baja. And yet escap'd good Iove how may this be Isa Thus it might be and was so when sad death was glutted with the ruine of each side when slaughtring Mars had stain'd the field with blood and cast a purple colour o'r the earth at length some milder providence desir'd an end of those hot tumults that were seen to last in Zemes breath so that their fire would be extinct when Zemes should expire then from the middle skirmish forth were brought he and Achmetes being met they fought Zemes was vanquish't by a violent blow which struck him trembling lower then his knees now whether flattering or present gifts redeem'd him from his fate I cannot show something they plotted what none yet can know Baj. Canst thou advise me Isaack how to sound the depth of all his mischief Isa Thus you may He being come from Zemes overthrow and yet luke-warme in blood and full of joy you may in way of honour and free mind call him this night to banquet Then being set when the hot spirits of caroused healths have spoyl'd his wit of smooth and painted tales and wine unlockt the passage for the truth bid him relate the manner of his war the chances and events then when he comes to Zemes if he err about his flight his ends are bad his bosome black as night Baja. Thou art my good Angel Isack I applaud thy faithfull plot Achmetes were thy soule as dark as hell and thy enclosed thoughts as subtill as a winding Labyrinth by such a guide as can remove each doubt and by a clue of thred I 'd track them out But Isack if we trap him in his wiles how shall we kill the traytor we have a trick already strange to catch him in the nick Isa Easily thus Our laws allow a custome not us'd of late yet firme still in effect and thus it is When there doth breath a man direfully hated of the Emperour and he in strickt severity of right cannot proceed against him then he may orewhelme him in a robe of mourning black which we have call'd deaths mantle that thing done the man thus us'd is forfeited to fate and a devoted sacrifice to him whom he had er'st offended neither can strength or intreaty wrest him from his death both which are treason and inexpiable Thus then you may proceed when banquets done and all their comick merriment run on to the last scene and every man expects a solemne gift due to Achmetes worth call for a robe therewith to deck your friend and perfect all his glory let that be this robe of fate in which ready at hand you may intombe the traytor and bewrap his pampred body in a vaile of death so let him die dream not on the event vice is rewarded in it's punishment Baj. I will be fierce and sudden Isaack invite Achmetes to a feast he dies this night Exit Baj. Isa I shall Would not a private warning serve but open penance must correct my child and a severe divorcement quite degrade her of her honour'd matrimoniall rights Were he as strong as steel-like joynted Mars as much applauded through our popular streets as erst Dictator Fabius was in Rome or geat Augustus yet the slave should feel the wrath of an inflamed father light heavy upon his soul that e'r the next sun appear Achmetes all thy glorie 's done Exit Actus 2.

Treason by Mahomet I left the dying Prince Isaak Pursue the project Bajaz. Worthy Achmetes well we may give but not reward by gifts and thank but not requite thee I would hate that liberality which would abate the worth of the receiver thy true fame out-strips the length of titles and a name of weighty honour is a slender price to grace thy merits with as for a voice to crown thee after death thou art the choice of everliving glory on thy crest is her abode and when the latest rest of nature hath betrai'd thee to thy grave then shall she print in characters of gold how brave a man thou wast how great how bold though we be dumb yet shall the world uplift thy name and thou shalt live without our gift Yet thy blest fates have not created thee so clearly God-like but some other chance may cross thy greatness and thy high renown the envy of some God may shoulder down then thus wee 'l make thee happy future events ne're shall oppress thy worth nor envious chance blot thy ensuing fame Achmetes know death an immortal gift we thus bestow He casts a gown of black velvet upon him called the mantle of death Caigub.
